Gold Standard Personal Training

Fantastic experience: I began training with Lee Barton from Gold’s gym back in January 2025 after recovering from a slipped disc. I had been an extremely active person and excersised almost every day. I had needed a hysterectomy in March 2024 and 3 months later I had restarted back to regular excersise. Unfortunately my body had become unconditioned pretty quickly after my op and it was this that had caused my slipped disc. My injury had had an impact on me physically and mentally. I was unable to move properly for a good few months as the disc had impinged my femoral nerve which caused me a lot of pain. During and after my injury I regularly see a physio and an osteopath. I felt better and wanted to get back to exercise but had lost confidence and had become extremely paranoid that I was going to do it again. I decided to contact Lee Barton who is a personal trainer and specialist in sports injury and rehabilitation at Gold gym. Lee helped me manage my injury through regular excersise and stretches that he had tailor made for my body. Lee knows his stuff and explained things to me in a way I could understand without baffling me with science. After a few weeks of training with Lee I had regained my confidence, after a couple of months training with Lee and following routines he had set for me at home I began to notice my body was beginning to tone up and I had strengthened my core and my back. He helped me follow a strict, healthy eating regime and I lost the weight plus more I had gained over the months during and after I had suffered my injury. I would highly recommend Lee Barton! He helped me gain my confidence and made me realise excersise isn’t something to be scared of even after a slipped disc! With his down to earth, easy going, encouraging approach he really is someone to consider whether you want a personal trainer, in need of rehabilitation or just want to build your confidence again! This is your guy!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with all the equipment you need. It’s easily accessible, nice, clean and tidy with some really friendly PTs. Especially Josh who I’ve been training with for over a year now. He looks at all aspects of your health and is really amazing at getting you to your goal! Whether it’s strength building, weight loss, injury recovery or just falling back in love with feeling fitter. The energy and passion for his role and the dedication to his clients is obvious. Will hopefully keep coming to this gym for years to come

Fantastic experience: Starting seeing Josh a couple of months ago and can’t recommend him highly enough. My body is toning and strengthening under his watchful eye - and I feel a lot better. He’s also a star person and intuitively knows the right approach to his clients. Great gym as well.

Fantastic experience: Been seeing Josh here for a while now and I feel so much better about myself! The gym has such a great atmosphere and every one is so friendly!

Fantastic experience: Been going to Lee at GSPT for more years than I can remember now (over 10) and still look forward to my sessions. He’s very knowledgeable on how all the muscles and joints work and magics away any niggling pains I mention. All the PTs at GSPT are always friendly and they bounce ideas across each other. I’m 58 next month but am probably fitter now than I was back then. All thanks to GSPT. . Far better value than my gym membership I used to have. Thanks.

Fantastic experience: Been training with Lee and the team for years, can’t recommend enough. Best gym in Essex!

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere. Always a laugh
